Hi - new member looking for some advice. I am restoring a 79 YZ125 - it did run when I bought like 2 years ago. Fast forward and I am finally restoring it but I have hit a road block. I have no spark issue that I traced to a bad stator. I purchased a replacement but I cannot get the magneto flywheel off. I have tried all the tricks but nothing has worked. I am at the point where I am either going to need to take to someone to remove or source a replacement engine.
Trying to weigh out the option that if I take some where and they can't remove without significant damage am I going to be out more $$ than if I just go the route of finding a replacement in better shape?
Any input is appreciated.

If you don't have one they're available on ebay and elsewhere, just do a search for you bike year/model/size and tool .Beating and pryin wont get it off and may render it in-serviceable.If you do have a puller try giving it a few taps on the bolt end once it is securely tightened into the flywheel, usually they pop right off but some are stubborn and may require a little heat around the area where the crank comes thru . Good luck!
The particular puller for this flywheel apparently just pushes against the crank end and it's only 18mm.
I might have to try and fabricate it to something like the one above.
The Shop
also, the 2 piece puller is better, especially if you are going to whack it.

Thanks Again!
If you search my posts you'll see everything I did to mine.
